Track record

0health-based violations in the last 10 years

From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.

Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Hugo tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Hugo, PFBA 19.8 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit. Hugo (PWSID MN1820007) has a Purity Score of 100/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.

Who provides tap water in Hugo?

Hugo (PWS ID MN1820007) is the public water system on record for Hugo, Minnesota, serving about 12,047 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Hugo get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Hugo's water?

Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-31 to 2024-07-24), PFBA was detected at 19.8 ng/L. It has no federal or state limit, so PurityMap shows it without grading it. No PFAS with a limit was detected.

Is there lead in Hugo's tap water?

Lead is not in Hugo's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.

What does the latest Hugo water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Hugo holds 31 findings: 1 detected with no limit and 30 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
